There is no doubt that 2020 has been a challenging year and that life has changed dramatically for all of us. Through these changes, we're grateful for the GW community. If you're interested in giving back both to and as part of the GW community, please explore these options:
GW COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund: The GW COVID-19 Response Fund supports the critical needs of patients, frontline care providers, staff, residents, and students. Gifts will help meet the most urgent needs, including:
- Research efforts to develop vaccines, innovative treatments, and advance our understanding of the pandemic’s effect on society
- Protective equipment to ensure the health and safety of GW's frontline team members
- Patient resources to support the individual needs of the community, including outdoor exam tents and mobile testing sites
- Technology to increase telemedicine and distance learning capabilities for our future doctors and care providers
- Essential resources for our frontline caregivers to continue practicing, including hot meals and alternative lodging
Give-A-Gift from GW's Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service: Give-A-Gift is a signature event and tradition at George Washington University where all members of the GW community -- students, faculty, staff and alumni -- provide holiday gifts to families in Washington, D.C. For 25 years, the GW community has stepped forward to support our neighbors with gifts for the holidays. This year due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are unable to collect and distribute physical gifts, so this year we are hosting a fundraiser to continue our support of the D.C. community. Please contribute to this GW tradition!
